Loaded up a few with 5.0 gr Unique. Was a little on the hot side for "light target." Went to 4.6 gr. Thought it shot pretty well. I wasn't looking for perfection (as I said) just decent plinking rounds. (I only get to borrow back the snubbie from my daughter very occasionally. I wanted some inexpensive rounds for informal shooting for myself and her. I prefer using components I already have.)

I've loaded about 100 rounds with the 4.6 gr. Shot half today and will probably finish them off tomorrow.

I'm satisfied with the results. Thanks to all who replied.
